The content also touches upon the potential chilling effect on constitutional rights and ongoing investigations into the ATF's practices.

The ATF has been caught using facial recognition technology, including Clearview AI and Vigilant Solutions, to identify gun owners. Reports indicate agents used these tools without proper training, raising concerns about wrongful arrests and violations of civil liberties. Despite claims of ceasing use in April 2023, a July 2024 report linked the ATF to facial recognition scans in an attempted assassination investigation. This practice, combined with existing gun owner data, could enable real-time tracking of law-abiding citizens, with potential implications for future confiscation efforts.

This video discusses the ATF's alleged use of facial recognition AI, particularly Clearview AI, to track gun owners by cross-referencing publicly available images with law enforcement databases. It highlights concerns raised by the GAO regarding privacy, accuracy, and potential civil liberties infringements, citing instances in New Jersey where facial recognition was allegedly used to identify firearm owners. The video urges viewers to contact their representatives to oppose funding for such 'law enforcement advanced analytics' programs.
